If you enjoy Italian food, then Mama Roma is the place for you. The service is good. The selection of meals is good. The wine list is good.Only down side is that it's in a shopping centre and if you want a nice table then booking is essential.Enjoy!!

Don't get me wrong the service was exceptional and our waitress made our evening. Her laugh was quite infectious!

The menu was to be expected of an Italian restaurant. The wine list to was short but more than sufficient.

The real disappointment was the pasta.The gnocchi trio was tasty but the blue cheeses sauce was missing that pungent blue cheese. It was essentially a white sauce with a faint hint of blue cheese. The pesto sauce on this dish was the winner.

Both the calamari pasta and the prawn and porcini linguini despite smelling wonderful lacked taste.

The lasagna was the best of the four dishes.

Perhaps we missed out by not having a veal dish or one of the steaks.

Like I mentioned-a bit disappointing given the glowing reviews.

It was a cold winter's night and the restaurant was warm and welcoming. The decor is very old fashioned. Service is good and the food was tasty traditional style Italian cooking. Not bad for a midweek outing.
